Bumpy surface

Any idea what could be causing this? Almost like the head is too close and damaging what has just been printed. 0.25 nozzle PLA

That look like a combination of slight warping and not enough infill-support below the upper surface - try adaptive cubic and make sure the first layer is sticking properly.

Cheerio,

Looks like pillowing. More top layers and/or more infill.

The first layer was sticking correctly.

So I increased the temperature by 10, that fixed the issue. Thanks.

Increasing the temperature did fix it for the test print but not the much larger print. Will try again with the suggestions given.
